Abstract

The present study aimed at investigating the effect of using an E-literature program based on the formeaning approach on developing Faculty of Education students' literary appreciation. Sixty students were randomly divided into two intact groups: an experimental group and a control one. The experimental group was taught using the program while the control one received conventional instruction. The instruments of the study included a needs assessment questionnaire to second year English majors, a needs assessment questionnaire administered to staff members at Faculty of Arts , a needs assessment test, a literary appreciation test and a literary appreciation rubric. Equality between the experimental and control group on the dependent variables was ensured by comparing the means of scores using "t"- test. After implementing the program, post testing was undertaken and the data obtained were analyzed using both "t"-test and the effect size of the program. The results revealed that the participants of the experimental group surpassed their counterparts in the control group on the post testing of literary appreciation skills.
